From the Annals of Tejano –  In 1971, the greatest of all the Tejana stars, Selena Quintanilla Perez,  was born in Lake Jackson.   Selena’s impact on music and fashion made her one of the top Mexican-American artists of the 80’s and 90’s. She was named the “top Latin artist of the ’90s” by Billboard and was the “best selling Latin artist of the decade”.  She began her career at age 9 and recorded her first album at 11.   She was named top female vocalist award nine times at the Tejano Music awards.  Her list of career accomplishments could go on for pages.  Tragically, she was killed by the founder of her first fan club on March 31, 1995 in Corpus Christi.  Her posthumous album Dreaming of You debuted at No.1.  The crossover album was destined to make her a star beyond the world of Tejano music.  Red was driving past the Astrodome when he heard the news of her death.  The same Astrodome where Selena held the record for attendance in one of her appearances at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.  Red had asked Mrs. Red for years to go see her, but never did to his everlasting regret.
